I guess but as someone that just got an evo lte, this thread helps me get started on picking a rom without getting overwhelmed by the myriad of choices in the dev section. and it's usually the case that the most popular roms are a good place to start for newbies. will check out tranquility, mean bean, & CM10.

I tried every Rom ten times over and mikeys roms are top notch.. they have all the bangin tweaks.. always get updated.. 100% stable.. haters are gonna hate
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Don't be afraid of getting overwhelmed. If you think about it, you can only flash one Rom at a time. So...try them out one at a time.

Besides, why would you only want to try the best Rom, when you don't know what makes it better than the others in the first place?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
theres only one reason i dont rock cm10 or any aosp rom.. and its because the notifaction light is borked.. when getting a text or any notifaction the light just says on.. it wont blink.. and i hate that so much!! dont no why but it drives my crazy! it must be really hard to fix seein not one aosp rom has it working

Very True, I have Titainium Backup Pro just for the occasion but recently I've only used it for games just to keep progress.

Same here. Tried them all numerous times. Some even go so far as to tell you they are the best. Don't believe them and fall for the hype.

what kanging is though is when someone helps you fix all the errors in your kernels and even gives you a link to their source and you pick and take what you want and then tell everyone the fixes and changes you made were all done by you....

or when you remove all of Google's copyright headers and add yours instead and not change a single line of code in the file............. oh wait.... thats not just kanging... thats illegal!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] onefasttreopro:
For completely working sense is recommend niklatte 3.01 (odex) (on mikmik site), its jelly bean blued where it was green and looks/runs very reliably. I'd say meanrom (deodexed for theming capatability if you're into that) and niklatte have the sense based ones running the best.

For custom non-sense based Roms I can't speak much cuz there was always a feature missing/being worked on which I use my phone completely so I need all features to work in my case.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treIII:
Cm 10.1 blacked out by Swiper rat along with Thick lizard kernel. Under clocked to 918 and still faster than any sense rom. And it was hard to break me from sense but this did it. I have no issues. Data is great. MMS is great sending and receiving. I added acid audio engine version 7 and volume with music and speaker phone is excellent. And bar none best music with headphones.

I'm curious why so many think Sense is so ugly? I remember when Sense 3.5 came out with the ring lockscreen, etc. Absolutely the coolest ever! And, who else copied their flip clock? However, the lack of being able to customize certain things led me to use Apex, and now I'm spoiled with it. I just think stock Android is boring.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aaronagis:
as far as roms go, I have to say my overall favorite has got to be Pure Latte 2.0 & it's such a good rom, has so many features, and is very tastefully done, It has everything, a sense rom could have and is stable as can be. I flash some new roms here and there but I always go back. I have been running it for about 2 months now and I can't find anything I like better. Unfortunately the Developer doesn't post his work on XDA, so you'll have to know where to look to find this beast. But when you do, you won't look back.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:

CM Rom? Use the regular Cyanogenmod roms found in the threads or at Cyanogenmod.com.

In Gingerbread, I could click menu button at my home screen and choose "Edit" and all my desktop screen will minimize and I can add screen or remove screen (including all widgets and shortcuts) just by dragging the screen to the bottom where it says Remove.

I could not find any way to do this in ICS?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -star-:
AW: [Q] Can you add/remove desktop screens in ICS?

You had probably a custom gingerbread launcher and not the default aosp launcher. The aosp launcher doesn't support additional screens, 5 is the maximum.

If you like the aosp look and feel, try a custom launcher like apex or nova, both come with the multiple home screens 5<.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinesh690:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmejiaa:
One of the things holding me back from moving from stock is all the setting/config I need to do..

Things like cerberus need to be opened and setup again, all my attached accounts typically need to be setup again, exchange, haxsync...etc.. Not to mention my settings for things like screen timeout, no haptic feedback, no button press noises.. etc.

I have titanium and usually do the backup apps, no system data. I'm always afraid system data won't play nice when switching ROMS...

so what's the preffered method to getting all this done as streamlined as possible?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagaetch:
I just chalk it up as part of the cost of flashing. Doesn't take that long to redo all the settings, and the various programs/accounts I just deal with as they come up. Agree that system data shouldn't be restored on a new ROM.

Sorry, not exactly a helpful answer! It's definitely one of the things that prevents me from 'trying out' different roms.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linelock:
I find that going through the process of adjusting all the settings also helps in exploring all the features of the new rom you just flashed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatltael:
Well if you're sticking to new releases of the same ROM then dirty flashing usually works. I only do a full wipe when a major change happens in a new release or when changing between completely different ROMs.

And anyway apart from system settings, titanium keeps everything else backed up (haxsync, Facebook, whatsapp, messages etc)

In the backup and restore menu of settings, if you tick the option that let's Google keep a backup of your phone then even the system settings get saved there. Just allow it to restore from that when in the initial setup screen of the new ROM.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
I usually flash a ROM and do a minimal setup until I decide whether or not I'm going to use it. If I decide the ROM is worthy, then I go to the extra effort.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbeebe24:
I like to use titanium backup with all data backed up. If you're careful you can get your previous setup with most of your data and settings intact. TB tends to show apps and settings that may cause problems in red so you don't restore them accidentally. If you don't restore everything you want from a TB backup you'll have to go through and reconfigure everything.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bljy:
Is it possible to backup and restore just email - exchange?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ackliph:
I use Titanium Backup Pro. It takes a little while to figure out all the options. But after you figure it out, it's great. Batch backup all your apps/data.

Be advised though. Back up everything and restore selectively.

Favorite/Safest method so far...

1 Backup all apps/data.

2 Completely format.

3 install new ROM.

4 set up Google account and let it auto download and install your old apps.

5 use titanium backup batch option to restore all apps, BUT select restore data only at the top.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbeebe24:
Sorry, but if you format you'll lose everything including the data you just backed up. Do you mean wipe?
